The '''Intercollegiate Studies Institute''', Inc. (or '''ISI'''), is a non-profit educational organization founded in 1953 as the '''Intercollegiate Society of Individualists'''. Its members, over 40,000 college students and faculty in the ], use programs intended to supplement a collegiate education and provide access to resources that help achieve an education based primarily on works of influential men and women in the European and ] traditions. The group supports limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, the rule of law, free market economy, and traditional values (specifically, those of the Judeo-Christian tradition).<ref> Intercollegiate Studies Institute.</ref>

==Core values==
]
Although ISI does not have any official partisan or religious affiliation, the Institute tends towards ] and ] positions. The influence of several important twentieth-century ] thinkers is also apparent at ISI. In fact, the very reason given for the existence of ISI is that education in the modern university is insufficiently ] (in the traditional sense, i.e., ]) to meet the needs of a ].<ref> Intercollegiate Studies Institute.</ref> Further, the organization fights what it perceives as ] and ] (in the modern sense) bias among campus professors.

In a 1989 speech to the ], then-President, ], stated:
{{quote|We must...provide resources and guidance to an elite which can take up anew the task of enculturation. Through its journals, lectures, seminars, books and fellowships, this is what ISI has done successfully for 36 years. The coming of age of such elites has provided the current leadership of the conservative revival. But we should add a major new component to our strategy: the conservative movement is now mature enough to sustain a counteroffensive on that last Leftist redoubt, the college campus...We are now strong enough to establish a contemporary presence for conservatism on campus, and contest the Left on its own turf. We plan to do this by greatly expanding the ISI field effort, its network of campus-based programming.<ref>Kenneth Cribb: Heritage lectures #226, December 7, 1989.</ref>}}

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) is a nonprofit educational organization that promotes conservative thought on college campuses. It was founded in 1953 by Frank Chodorov with William F. Buckley Jr. as its first president. It sponsors lectures and debates on college campuses, publishes books and journals, provides funding and editorial assistance to the Collegiate Network, a support program conservative and libertarian college newspapers, and finances graduate fellowships.

Some financial information about the organization is published on their website (for FYE 30 June 2021); however, their financials shown on their website differ somewhat from their filed IRS Form-990. For their fiscal year ending 30 June 2021, their donations were $5,809,831, their revenue was $7,078,238, and their expenses were $6,195,894.

History

In 1953, Frank Chodorov founded ISI as the Intercollegiate Society of Individualists, with a young Yale University graduate William F. Buckley Jr. as president. E. Victor Milione, ISI's next and longest-serving president, established publications, a membership network, a lecture and conference program, and a graduate fellowship program. ISI has been teaching various forms of intellectual conservatism on college campuses ever since. In the 1980s, ISI and its journal Continuity, edited by Paul Gottfried, were known to feature some neo-Confederate views.

Past ISI president and former Reagan administration official T. Kenneth Cribb led the institute from 1989 until 2011, when Christopher G. Long took over. Cribb is credited with expanding ISI's revenue from one million dollars that year to $13,636,005 in 2005. John A. Burtka IV became president of ISI in September 2020. ISI lists its core beliefs as limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, the rule of law, free-market economics, and traditional Judeo-Christian values. ISI is a member of the advisory board of Project 2025, a collection of conservative and right-wing policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power should the Republican nominee win the 2024 presidential election.

Programs and activities

ISI runs a number of programs on college campuses, including student societies and student papers. It publishes a series of "Student's Guide to..." books, such as A Student's Guide to Liberal Learning. It hosts conferences and other events featuring conservative speakers and academics, and provides funding for students to attend. In this funding capacity ISI is affiliated with the Liberty Fund. ISI administers the Collegiate Network, which provides editorial and financial outreach to conservative and libertarian student journalists.

Publications

Periodicals issued by ISI include:

In the fall of 2006, ISI published the findings of its survey of the teaching of America's history and institutions in higher education. The Institute reported, as the title suggests, that there is a "coming crisis in citizenship."

ISI Books

Until 2023, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute operated ISI Books, which published books on conservative issues and distributed a number of books from other publishers. Its focus was largely on the humanities, the foundations of Western culture, American history, and conservative political themes. In 2023, ISI Books was acquired by Regnery Publishing.

In the summer of 2005, ISI Books published It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good by Pennsylvania Republican Senator Rick Santorum. The book premiered at No. 13 on the New York Times Best Seller list. Passages from it generated controversy during Santorum's 2006 reelection campaign and his 2012 presidential campaign.
